In this study we demonstrate that it is possible to shift the immune system during a chronic infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. TGFβ and IL10 cytokines inhibit the Th1 response during chronic pulmonary infection with M. tuberculosis. We show that intrapulmonary delivery of siRNA targeting TGFβ1 is able to reduce the pulmonary bacillary load in mice chronically infected with M. tuberculosis:...
Failure of mice to produce IL-10 has no effect on the bacterial burden of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in the lungs over the first 4–5 months of the disease. We show here that after 185 days of the infection, IL-10 gene disrupted (IL-10 KO) mice showed evidence of bacterial regrowth, began to show signs of wasting, and were moribund. We assessed the status of the acquired immune response and...
